I actively root against anyone discussed in this thread
Nobody, and I mean nobody, can possibly root against the FOD Runner, MARM or the Brooms?
I wouldn't define Tim and the Brooms as "shoetubers", Tim is a funny and entertaining runner and the Brooms are also quite ok and I like watching their uploads.
I guess I disagree with the notion of it being defensive to disagree with you. It would be like saying you are offensive, no? 😂 Sure, the train harder, not smarter is part of the brand...I think most people like it. I find it a bit strange when folks on here clearly loathe someone (and I'm not saying this about you at all with RTJ!) and yet they clearly watch all the videos. It doesn't feel healthy to fill yourself with hate imo. I'd rather watch things I enjoy 😬
oh come on, a good hate watch is one of life's simple pleasures!
Pure speculation, but his taper seems very odd. He dropped is mileage a ton from like 6+ weeks out. Then also ran a pretty hard LR the week before
On mileage alone you'd think he would be better than 2:42. 14/15 hours a week of running for a year and he actually gets 3 mins slower that Chitown 24?!
Due needs to race more than once a year
I don't watch Yowana's channel but checked it out based on the comments here. Seems like he thinks hitting 130+ miles is the answer. Surely most people, if they can get there, can run sub 2:30 off 100 miles a week. Perhaps more patience, rather than more miles, is the answer.
At what point do people stop watching? It's the same thing over and over. Especially when you don't improve in any sort of significant way. His stuff is 100% style over substance, to the people who watch his stuff, what do you even get out of it? Dude just smells his own farts for the entire video and tells you he's awesome when he doesn't even view the race as a success.
Honestly my favorite thing about Broberg is that every time he starts a training series he sets a time goal that he fails to meet and then in the next training series he just lowers the time goal. So it was Boston 2:35 -> runs a 2:38, Chicago 2:32 -> runs a 2:34, Mckirdy 2:30 -> runs a 2:32, Chicago "No Time" (2:28) -> runs a 2:32. What's next, sub 2:20?
From the fake tears to the G.O.D shoutout...if you believe anything this dude puts out there then I've got a bridge to sell you. Anyone else notice all these shoetubers are now big christians? Weird

A year or so ago, one of his vids got recommended to me and I started watching some. Then I stopped for the reasons you mention.
Then I found this thread and now I'm delightfully hate watching lol.
It's all just so sickeningly performative. Including your private messages with your partner, "I love you so much it hurts". I actually feel physical pain in my stomach.
